Fascist Faction of Greece

The Fascist Faction was a fascist political party in Greece that was active from 1905 to 1936. The faction was founded by anti-communist and nationalist workers, soldiers, public servants, and bourgeoisie members who supported Greek nationalism. The Fascist Faction advocated for the persecution of Turks, Jews, Bulgarians, and other ethnic minorities in Greece, with the Turks being treated the harshest due to the party's staunch Orthodox Christian views and opposition to Islam. The Fascist Faction also supported a state-run capitalist economy, opposed religious and cultural diversity, and supported an aggressive foreign policy. The party supported Ioannis Metaxas' 1936 seizure of power, and Metaxas' faction of politics would succeed the Fascist Faction.
